Re: Sweeter, darker, larger sound?

Before juggling with equipment, try to vary your own part of the equation (tongue position, air speed, oral cavity, the works).

Just start playing long tones, then experiment inside your mouth what happens if you curl up your tongue or retract your wisdom teeth or whatever can be done. Think of (or form) different vowels when playing, try to make your sound even edgier than it already is, then do the opposite of it. It's difficult to explain, maybe some spectral analyzer can help you:
